I was very excited that “Ahsoka” trailers showed the E-Wing, finally bringing the fighter to Star Wars Canon. I like the changes made to the E-Wing, there is no more laser cannon mounted on top of the cockpit, which will never happen in real life. In its place now comes an open astromech socket like the X-Wing. The nose of the E-Wing is made shorter. The astromech socket is lowered by 2 plates, making R2-D2’s position not so elevated like the official set. Small adjustments were made to the technic mechanism for the slanted wings. I tried to create an impression of the winglets using sloped pieces and mounted the 2 laser cannons on the tips. Thanks to the technic mechanism, the E-Wing can rest on the engines with the wings flattened, I had enough pieces to build a small stand for the E-Wing to be mounted on to show its slanted wings. t's great to see LEGO is releasing the 75364 New Republic E-Wing™ vs. Shin Hati’s Starfighter™, this MOC will complement the set. https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-153971/Wurger Bricks/new-republic-e-wing-alternate-build-of-75301-lukes-x-wing/

Instructions are on rebrickable. https://rebrickable.com/.../tx-130-super-saber-class.../ The Republic Fighter Tank was a light repulsortank, used to provide infantry support, and engage enemy armor. The tank is very fast and agile, it was equipped with two sponson heavy laser cannons, and an open top turret. The top gunner is usually the lowest-ranking trooper because he is exposed to the most hazardous battle conditions. This is a widespread complaint from the troopers, especially when the Trader Federations’ AAT has an enclosed top turret. During war, you take the best of both sides and constantly improve and adapt to the new battle conditions. The TX-130 Super Sabre-Class Fighter Tank is designed with an enclosed top turret that houses a heavy laser cannon with a coaxial laser gun that has 360 degrees field of fire. The tank no longer needs to turn its whole body to engage enemies on its sides and back. The sponson heavy laser cannons are lowered by one brick from the official LEGO design to reduce the centre of gravity from the extra weight of the top turret. The body of the tank is made wider and longer, to fit in an extra laser super charger coil. Bigger repulsor engines deliver more lift and power to drive the Super Saber-Class faster across the battlefield. There are no more side gaps from the X-Wing Canopy piece in my design, I kept the back of the canopy as the front of the armoured hull as it’s the correct shape, while I have seen other designers flip the canopy around to close the gaps.

The Gunship looks small, quite a reduction in size from 2013

Thank you mate, I have changed the title to MOC now, the each tower levels has a piece of furniture inside but does feel lacking as you have pointed out.

This is an alternate build from 2 vehicle sets, the main focus is to build the Eldorado Lighthouse. After that is finished, I had a lot of car pieces left so I built a car from them. thank you mate, yeah, tried to add as much as I could from the pieces available.

LEGO’s remake of the 1989 Pirates classic appeals to many nostalgic hearts, the 10320 Eldorado Fortress is a modular build with the classic yellow and white walled buildings. I decided to create the Eldorado Lighthouse from two sets of the LEGO Creator Beach Camper Van 31138. The lighthouse sits on the hazardous shoals near the entrance of the Eldorado Fortress harbour, on high tide most of the sandbanks are submerged making waterways very dangerous from running aground. The model is 40 cm/15.7 inches tall. Instructions are available on Rebrickable: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-152684/Wurger Bricks/eldorado-lighthouse/ I started with the idea of utilizing the hinged plates to create an enclosed building that can be opened up, unfortunately after building the base, I realised that I don’t have enough yellow and white bricks. That idea is scrapped and simple structure with an open back is designed, with the focus on height. A small jetty leads to the gate of the light house. Two dinghies are used to bring in supplies and replacement soldiers due to the shallowness of the waters. The lighthouse is built on a rocky platform where its sides are built from grey, white, and tan slopes and tiles. The base of the lighthouse is yellow like a classic LEGO castle, I was surprised that I didn’t have enough yellow pieces so had to use six vehicle mudguards for the walls, they do however create a brick pattern with the nougat bricks. One of the mudguards are used to create the portico. 1x1 white tiles are also used to show patchworks on the walls. One straight corner going up to the lighthouse tower and one round corner to the battlements. White battlements are added to give defense capabilities and visually match with fortress. The imperial soldier’s quarters on the ground floor, red banners hanging off the walls. The lighthouse keepers stay on the first floor with patterned tiles and kitchen. A bed and desk with a candle is put on the towers for play value, and small ladders give kids the idea of jumping and climbing inside the towers. SNOT techniques are used to add some decoration to the walls and roof. 1x1 tan plates, 1x2 tan round plates and 1x1 reddish brown round plates are used to show exposed bricks where the white plaster has cracked, they give a visual break to the monotonous white walls and help with the shortage of pieces to build up the height of the tower. Two red stripes on the tower give high visibility during daytime, I used up all of the red bricks and luckily they are just enough. 1x1 round quarter tile are used to show patch works on the wall. The top level of the tower has round corners due to the pieces I had to build with, and slimed the profile of the tower at the top as it should in real life. Lattice fences sitting on cut-out slopes formed the railings on the platform, double trans-clear panels formed the lantern house. The light is built using red and yellow modified bricks combined with trans-orange slopes. I had a lot of medium azure bricks left, plus wheels, tyres and windscreen as the original set is a camper van, so I built a 2 seater Beetle look alike car with oversize wheel arches with a lot of slopes pieces. My son said Eldorado Lighthouse is a tourist attraction landmark in the present day, with tourists driving their cars to visit this heritage site.

Better late than never 19/06/2023! I apologise for taking 2 years to rebuild my 2021 alternate build in Studio, but here it is on Rebrickable now: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-148970/Wurger Bricks/imperial-trexler-armored-marauder-alternate-build-of-2-x-75311/

Great looking ship with with a sloped fuselage! Love the alternate build!

thank you!

Can anyone here tell me how many studs wide does the Midi Scale Y-Wing look like in the uncoming 75365 Yavin 4 base? I am thinking about doing other ships in scale to that for the base. I counted around 14 studs wide, does that sound right?

thank you! I wasn't sure if it was possible at the start, but worked out well.

I think the body of the ship is very strong, the bargo bay panels though are not, they are only connected by 2 studs. Check out the youtube video, there is a section on sturdiness.

Thank you, yes, just one copy of 75333.

No clone troopers are included in 75333, the Republic LAAT Gunship requires no extra pieces on top of the set. Instructions are on Rebrickable. https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-150294/Wurger Bricks/midi-republic-laat-gunship-alternate-build-of-75333-obi-wans-starfighter/#details The availability angled technic connectors and pin hole plates made it possible to rebuild this set into the shape of the Republic LAAT Gunship with its slanted wings and slopped back ramp. The 75333 is widely available in Australia and is often on sale. This compact gunship can seat 2 clone troopers in the cockpit, and 2 standing in the cargo bay. The main cockpit bubble canopy that allows 2 clones to sit inside the stepped cockpit formed the core of the gunship, with the rest of model extending from it. The two 1x12 white plates were perfect for the top frame of the model. The back side panels are attached onto two brackets on each side, not the strongest of connections, please hold the model along the cargo bar opening. The engine design of the Delta-7 was carried over to represent the missile launchers with a technic axle pin sticking out, not ideal but close enough in terms of looks. The angled technic connectors allowed for the slanted wings, with 4x4 modified white tiles covering up the connections inside the wings. I really enjoyed designing and building this Midi Republic Gunship from just pieces from 75333, it’s very budget friendly and hopefully provide clone army builders with a bunch of gunships!

wow, such a nice model, everything is so smooth!

wow, this game was before I even has a computer!

thanks mate, the stickers of the 1x3 dark red tiles happened to work out!

Eta-2 Actis Jedi Interceptor is the replacement for the Delta-7, I thought it's appropriate to use pieces from the 75333 Delta-7 to build the Eta-2. I used the 75281 Anakin's Jedi Interceptor as the reference to design the wings, white wedge pieces are used to represent the S-Foils. The back of the cockpit is based on the official set and the same engine pods were used. Unfortunately, no pieces are available to build the laser cannons, but the 2 lightsaber hilts are used for ion cannons on the wings.

Once you see the gaps between the cockpit and the wing struts, it cannot be unseen. I had to close them up, let me know how it worked out in comments please? I did 2 versions, one with 1x2 slopes on the top and bottom of cockpit sides, and the original with curved slopes. For the Fang Fighter, I just moved the locations of the laser cannons.

With its sleek arrowhead shape, streamlined cockpit, and massive twin engines, the A-wing starfighter suggests raw speed even when parked within Alliance hangar bays. Faster than even the TIE interceptor, the A-wing is well suited for lightning strikes. It sports a pair of pivoting laser cannons on each wingtip. Using 2 x 75344 Boba Fett’s starship, dark red wedges create the outline of the ship and its twin engines. Double wing screen pieces used for the canopy, it can fit Boba without his jetpack, dark green round corner tiles are used for cockpit walls and stabilizers.

Looks great! Had to google the ship, thanks for the intro!

haha, they are definitely star wars-y names.

love the scene with the different posed figures! Are they existing Mando characters or you created their names?

Cheers, I have put up a Youtube video going through the model designs.

Thank you, best of luck to you too!
